Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: ROCKING ALONE IN AN OLD ROCKING... From: GUEST,bnt@citlink.net Date: 05 May 04 - 08:08 PM here is what I got back when I posted the same querry on Cowpie in '99 plus the chords and lyrics I got from my mother singing it the best she could remember when she was near 90 years old From: "aunttee@ctaz.com" Subject: Resubmission of "Rocking Alone" Date: Sat, 15 May 99 03:01:41 PDT Status: ROCKIN' ALONE IN AN OLD ROCKIN' CHAIR by Bob Miller {Written in 1932, this song has enjoyed periodic revivals ever since. Bob Miller was known for his creation during the twenties and thirties of what he called "Main Street Music," which included a good deal of social commentary and a number of "mother songs" like "My Mother's Tears" and "Story Of A Dear Old Lady."} ROCKING ALONE IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR (Bob Miller) [C] [G7] Sitting alone in an old rocking chair, [C] I saw an old mother with silvery hair, [C7] [F] She looked so neglected by those who should care, [C] [G7] [C] Rocking alone in an old rocking chair. [C] [G7] Her hands were all callused and wrinkled and old, [C] A life of hard work was the story they told, [C7] [F] And I thought of angles when I saw her there, [C] [G7] [C] Rocking alone in an old rocking chair. [C] [G7] Bless her old heart do you think she complained, [C] Though life had been bitter she'd live it again, [C7] [F] And carry the cross that was more than her share, [C] [G7] [C] Rocking alone in an old rocking chair. [C] [G7] It wouldn't take much to gladden her heart, [C] Just some small remembrance on somebody's part, [C7] [F] A letter would brighten her empty life there, [C] [G7] [C] Rocking alone in an old rocking chair [C] [G7] I know some children in an orphan home, [C] Who'd think they owned heaven if she were there own, [C7] [F] They'd never be willing to let her sit there, [C] [G7] [C] Rocking alone in an old rocking chair. [C] [G7] I look at her and I think what a shame, [C] The ones that forgot her she still loves the same, [C7] [F] And I think of angels when I see her there, [C] [G7] [C] Rocking alone in an old rocking chair. |
